Hello, I was wondering if you managed to find any information about Hugh McCleery? I am researching the McClurg surname in Killead, Glenavy, Dundrod, Tullyrusk, Tornaroy and Derriaghy. From what I can see in the Stoneyford and Derriaghy records transcribed by the NIFHS there are a number of McCleery families whose surname is actually McClurg. I suspect Hugh could also be a McClurg. For example in the NIFHS records you will see twin births to a William McCleery/Mary Brown(e). The twins show up in the 1901 census as McClurg, both unmarried and living with their mother Mary. I have the actual marriage registration for William McClurg and Mary Brown which took place in Dundrod Presbyterian church. William was from the townland of Slievenacloy close to Stoneyford. In the tithe applotment books a Hugh McCleery is resident in Stoneyford. In my own direct line, my great great grandfather James McClurg also had twins and he named them William and Hugh. There is also a Rosey McClurg in the 1901 census who is resident in the townland of Ballymather and certain information would seem to point to her father possibly being Hugh McCleery.
